The Honda dealer for the Taunton area was once a family firm that had had the franchise since the early 1970s. They were dumped for a glass palace staffed by people who knew nothing.
Same over here. The franchise in Poitiers was a family firm that went back more than 30 years with Honda and had things like a 1st generation Civic, an NSX and an S800 in the showroom. Not any more.
It's a shame Honda seems to lurch from mistake to mistake these days.
Although I say it as shouldn't, I road tested a Kia Pride in the early 1990s and said its build and perceived quality was nearly Honda-like. I'm glad they didn't stick with the whitewall tyres though.
